just the same non-sense saying that there are no good b.c. .277 bullets which is false, and propagating the fiction that long heavy bullets with high b.c.'s are better at short to medium range as opposed to medium weight bullets with good b.c.'s for their weight. If those long-range " internet hunters" want to use heavy for caliber high b.c. bullets in .277, then they can, and use 7.5 to 8 twist barrels which are available. Don't mention the 7.5 to 8 twist barrels because that would destroy their other falsehood, that the .277 bore only comes in 10 twist. Now is there any need to repeat all this in 50 postings time?
First of all, heavy, high-BC bullets can certainly be advantageous at short-to-medium range when considering what can be the biggest challenge in field conditions, and that is wind drift. Second, due to the traditional industry standard 1:10" twist, there are few high-BC bullet options because bullet manufacturers chose not to offer bullets that most factory rifles could not stabilize. With the recent trend toward building fast-twist .277" rifles, there are a few high-BC bullet options, but that still pales in comparison to what is available on either side of .277" (6.5 mm and 7 mm) because both 6.5 mm and 7mm have long been produced with relatively fast twist rates.
